For decades, customers have sat at the counter at Swan Oyster Depot in San Francisco, where they?ve savored the restaurant?s Crab Louie. Paired with crusty sourdough bread and an ice-cold beer, it makes a satisfying meal. The Louie dressing, which is simple to prepare, is the perfect accompaniment to fresh, sweet-tasting crabmeat.

For the salad:

Directions:

To make the Louie dressing, in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, egg, black olives and sweet relish and stir until blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To make the salads, divide the lettuce among 6 chilled salad plates and top with equal amounts of the crabmeat. Drizzle the salads with the Louie dressing or serve it alongside. Serve immediately, accompanied by sourdough bread and butter.
